Kentucky's Resources and Ad-
yantages.

The facts in regard to the resour,
ces and ad vantages of Kentucky in
the elements of wealth and pros
perity have in detail been laid be-
fore the publicj but there is SO
much in them to invite immigra-
ton and investment of capt.
tai that a brief resume can not be
out of place.
/. The climate of Kentucky is
most salubrious, possessing all the
elements of hardy and healthy
manhood.
2. Kentucky has more miles of
navigable rivers than any other
State of equal size.
8. One-third of Kentucky is UNI
derlaid with coal, or 1900 out of
10000 square miles, and over 300
more square miles than PennsYlva,
MIA. Kentucky's camel and cox
ing coal is the best in the world.
4, In Kentucky alone, of all the
world, coking coal and iron ore are
found within two miles of each 9TH
err.
5. In white pine and hard wood
timber generally Kentucky has un-
surpassed supplies.
6. There are peculiarities in the
soil of Kentucky which give to it's
grasses, grains and water qualities
which make its live stock the finest
in the world.
These facts cannot be controvert-
ed, and now when capital is seeking
profitable investment they ought to
be kept prominently before the
ubljc.-Commonwealth.

The result in Rhode Island turns

halt of the honest and representa-
tive government by the people, and
it has been won through the con-
.scientious revolt of those who have
hitherto acted with the Republican
party. |. has come about because
moral elements in the party have
concluded to recur to those funda-
mental principles that made its ear
ly history IL is defeat for the ar
rogant, unrepresentatiVe and cor
rupt machine, and it is o distinct
triumph for the forces Of lndepen-
dence and progress.
The men in whose hands the party
control had latterly fallen did not
count on the advance which has
been made since those days when
great national issues denominated
the State, and when the wiaer lead
ership of Senator Anthony was for
titled by higher impulses, and had
not degenerated into sordid meth
DDS. The fact that the demonstra-
ton of yesterday was the result of
an unorganized revolt makes it the
more significant and impressive.
1t betokens a healthy and a wide
awakening. In The more placid
national outlook, people have now
every incentive to attend to matters
of home government that are of SUI

Two negroes brutally assaulted
Miss Jennie Bowman in Louisville
one day last week. She was alone
in a dwelling and the negroes en-
tered with the intention ofrobbery,
thinking there was no person in the
house. On discovering the robbers
Miss Bowman threw a heavy goblet
and struck one of them in the face.
The brutes then heat her over the
head with poker until they
thought she was dead, when they
carried her up stairs and laid her
on q bed. She was found uncon-
scious, but has since become suffi-
GENTLY rationalto give descriptions
ofthe fends. It is thought that she
cannot possibly recover. The ne
groes were captured and the Gov
ernor was, compelled to order out
the militia TO prevent them being
lynched by mob.
LATER l-The probabilities now
are that Miss Bowman will recover.

..Pudn starcums Confession.

"one day as ! sat alone saw my
wife's little brother came running
from school. He CANA up to me
and said that Fisher Marcum was
Hup there trying to whip them all.
So Invent up to the school with him
to see if it was true. Fisher had
talked about me before John Ad-
kins, and / got them together and
askel Fisher if he had the talk
about me, and ne said lie had.
told him he was mistaken, and he
said it again, and Itold him 1t was
q lie. Then he came at me with an
lion Weight he had hid in his peck
ct. He would have killed me il
John Adkins had not caught him.
He stood there and talked about
me and my wife few minutes, and
then John let him loose. He came
at me again and l told him to stop,
but he came ON up and snubbed his
nose and told him again to stop.
Then as he saw he could not scare
me he stopped. / then started
home, and as | went along he fol-
lowed me and quarrelled with me
all the way home. After that when
| would go to church he would slip
around and try to knock mo in the
head. And finally | went to church
on spankum and had to go by his
house. When he saw me he got
his crowd and followed me. After
church he had a crowd of thirty
five or forty, and would have killed
me that night lift had not been for
my wife. So got away from him
and surrounded the road and made
it home.
From that time on / was afraid
of Fisher and afraid to step out Of
doors. could not get wood for
fire for fear ofhis waylaying me and
trying to kill me. He lay on the
hill before my door to kill me. He
shot at Bill Carter in my yard, and
after that | ran him away from near
the same place, and ran him to the
top of the hill at Dave Carriers.
Dave and several others were with
me the day / ran him away from
my house. / heard him say my
self that he would run a ball to kill
the last one Of Covey Carter's fami-
Iy. So on account of his doing
that way I thought he was going to
kill all of us, and / was compelled
to do something to save my life.
He was waylaying my house nearly
all the time, sol began to try and
find out what to do to keep from
being killed. Some said for me to
kill him. But | wanted to leave
there, but ] didnot get away until l
as well as others was taken away,
though Others were the cause of
Fisher Marcum's death and all the
trouble which has grown out of it.
John Adkins and Tom Garter were
the cause of his death. And then
his trying to kill me every time he
caught me out or at church-all
this brought it on.
One day John Adkins came to
Convey Carter and sent little girl
for me to come down to Covey's.
/ went down, and John made me
think that Fisher would kill me i'll
| didn't kill him. He said no man
could do him the way Fisher had
done me and live. Alter this Tom
Garter would watch around for
Fisher and then come and tell me
that if | didn't do something RI
you'd not be live man very long. !
